In 1932 Franklin Delano Roosevelt's triumph in the Presidential Election heralded the end of one long era in American History and the beginning of another. From the election of Abraham Lincoln until Roosevelt's victory over Hoover, the Republican Party had dominated American politics. Roosevelt's victory led to the Democratic Party's dominance until the election of Richard Nixon in 1968. This study will give the student the opportunity to examine in depth the origins, course, character, and legacy of the Democratic Triumph in American Politics.
